With the 4.125 crank, you might run into having to clearence the block where the rod/bolts come around. I know you don't have to with a 4.0" crank. FWIW, the 395 is going to have bad side load problems, and place the piston wrist pin high in the oil landings. I guess custom pistons could remedy some of this, but there is no cure for side load except a bigger bore.
